Abstract

The railway network of India is the biggest in South Asia and perhaps the most complicated in all over the world. There are so many different types of train local, fast, super-fast, passenger, goods etc. and there are so many multiple routes. Although the time table is perfect it is not at all possible to maintain it. And that’s why the train accidents are becoming more and more usual. So a kind of intelligence of the train engines itself, so that it prevents accidents. In our project we aim at generating electricity using combined renewable energy resources of wind and solar from a running train and using a part of this energy to detect damages in the railway track system by passing a minute voltage over the track, thus avoiding the train accidents. Remaining energy can be saved using battery and used for train lighting system. We also aim at avoiding the other different possibilities of train accidents. Such as accidents due to signal miscommunication, accident due to moving or stationary objects across the track using MATLAB.
